Descriptive alt text on images

Medium impactImages & video

A list of the images on the page that ship with no alt attribute at all, so you can add a clear written description of what each one shows. We name the images; the description is yours to write, because saying what a picture shows honestly needs eyes on it.

Why AI engines read this

AI cannot see pictures but it does read these descriptions, so describing your images gives it more of your content it can understand and point to.

How to tell it applies to you

A page ships images with no alt attribute at all — that is what the card lists. Separately, the audit flags the site when alt coverage across sampled pages drops below ~90%. A deliberate empty alt="" on a decorative image is valid markup and is never counted against you.

How you'll know it's done

Mark the fix applied in your dashboard once you've made the change — Findrix re-checks the live page right away, and the next scan confirms it. Once the fix is live the matching check flips to pass; a change you made without marking it is caught by the same scan.
